In the short two days I have been on this on this account, i have realized that small people are making amazing things, and no attention has been brought to them because they are small. I have now posted one not bad airplane (a wip and a completed version) and this has not had one upvote comment, and three downloads. This is the same with @squideater56 who posted this amazing, huge, truck that no one has commented on or upvoted. I am just trying to say that the small people are putting effort into making these things, and without followers or publicity besides the "newest" category, their creations are just left to rot with time. Thanks for reading my rant, and yes, I know that two days isn't long, but if no one upvotes or even comments on a plane within the first hour or so, it just keeps sinking on the newest page. Thanks for reading and have a great day.
@ColonelStriker thanks! I will try my best to achieve these things and that is some good advice
Aesthetics, local active time, uniqueness, ranks.
.
These four are essential to every player. Especially you and other white rank/beginner users.
.
Aesthetics- aircraft uploaded must be pleasing to the eye
Local active time- time where most players are active on site
Uniqueness - the aesthetics’ twin. If it’s not good, at least it should be interesting with... idk excellent maneuverbility, unique features, innovative, etc...
Ranks.- a great factor in recognition. Most players wouldn’t upvote lower rank players if the above three aren’t achieved. Unless innovative, unique or just simply outstanding
.
I really suggest playing around with the features. Also try mastering the fuselage blocks. Play o round with how things do things. Seek help and guides. Don’t give up.
Thanks @EternalDarkness I do have a year of experience which has not lead to much, but I still am uploading good content. A few hours ago I uploaded a custom cockpit and my first plane was pretty good in my opinion. Not to blow my own horn, but I was getting a few upvotes on my other account which is WalrusManufacturingCO
For me, upload threshold is much lower for lower level users. Basically, if the build made by bronze user I upvoted was made by a gold user, I wouldn't upvote. Now, that doesn't mean I'll upvote anything a white user uploads. Today, I have stumbled across this. The guy was white when he posted it. That's a good build worth recognition. I can't know how much you have worked on a build if I can't see that work when looking at the build.
My other point: don't rush it. I got my first upvote on my fifth build. You have posted two, and you want to be what, platinum? Take it easy. Experiment, explore building methods, and enjoy building, not counting upvotes. Then, over time, recognition will come. Or gain recognition this way. You wouldn't be the first one. There are many forum kings about who we often talk on various chats. Can't build a decent plane if their life depended on it. Guys who are in it just for points. The guys who never make it into closed groups for good builders.
@spefyjerbf that is so true though. Thanks!
It always takes a little more effort to be noticed when you first create your account, but after you build a good base of followers, its smooth sailing.
Thanks @Stellarlabs and @mushr0om
I wrote this because I had not experienced this with my previous account, WalrusManufacturingCO
@WalrusManufacturingCo2 This is something everyone has to go through. It is advised to not make post like this because there are are literally thousands.
People are very strict about upvoting, I have no idea why though. That's why you don't get recognition below a certain level, part count etc.
Here is @squideater56 truck here is my creation
Thanks to everyone that reads this and thanks for helping the cause
